Answer:

94=x

Explanation:

We can use proportions to solve. Put the small triangle side over the big triangle side


168 x-34

---------- = -------------

95.2 34


Using cross products


168*34 = 95.2(x-34)

5712=95.2x -3236.8

Add 3236.8 to each side

5712+3236.8=95.2x -3236.8+3236.8

8948.8 = 95.2x

Divide by 95.2 on each side

8948.8/95.2 = 95.2x/95.2

94=x
